Former President and Jubilee Party Leader, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, made a grand arrival at the Jubilee Party’s National Delegates Conference (NDC) held at Ngong Racecourse, Nairobi, on Friday, September 26, 2025.
The former Head of State was welcomed with jubilation as party delegates and supporters gathered to hear his much-anticipated address on the future of the Jubilee Party ahead of the 2027 general election. Uhuru, who has kept a relatively low political profile since leaving office in 2022, signaled a renewed focus on reorganizing the party machinery and strengthening its grassroots presence.
Seated at the front alongside him was former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, who remains a key ally. Their joint appearance was symbolic, reflecting a show of unity and solidarity within the Jubilee leadership ranks. The conference, which officially kicked off earlier in the day, drew thousands of delegates from across the country, underscoring the party’s determination to remain a formidable force in Kenya’s political arena.
In his remarks, Uhuru emphasized the need for discipline, loyalty, and unity within the party, urging members to work collectively toward shaping Jubilee’s vision for the next generation of leadership. He further hinted at possible alliances and strategies aimed at ensuring Jubilee remains relevant in the evolving political landscape, especially as new parties and movements emerge.
Political analysts note that the NDC marks a critical turning point for Jubilee, which has faced internal wrangles and defections in recent years. Uhuru’s return to the spotlight is widely seen as an effort to reassert his influence and rally the party faithful ahead of the high-stakes 2027 elections.
The event set the stage for crucial deliberations on policy direction, leadership structures, and the party’s role in national governance, with delegates expected to pass key resolutions before the close of the conference.
